KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 5
David prays and professes his study in prayer. He prays to Jehovah to guide him, to destroy his enemies, and to preserve the godly. To the chief musician, for flutes. A Psalm of David.
1To the chief musician, for flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O Jehovah; consider my meditation.
2Attend to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for I will pray to You.
3You will hear my voice in the morning, O Jehovah, I will set myself for You in the morning, and I will look up.
4For You are not a God enjoying wickedness; evil shall not live with You.
5The boasters shall not set themselves before Your eyes. You hate all workers of iniquity.
6You shall destroy those speaking lies; Jehovah will despise the man of blood and deceit.
7But I, in the abundance of Your grace, I will come into Your house. I will worship in Your fear toward Your holy temple, O Jehovah.
8Lead me in Your righteousness, because of my enemies; make straight Your way before me.
9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is engulfing ruin; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue.
10O God, hold them guilty; let them fall from their own counsels. Drive them away in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.
11But all putting their trust in You shall be joyful; they shall shout for joy forever, because You cover them. And those who love Your name shall be joyful in You.
12For You, O Jehovah, will bless the righteous one; You will surround him with favor, as with a shield.
